FXZ

First Trust Materials AlphaDEX Fund

FXZ Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the StrataQuant(R) Materials Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by NYSE Euronext to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000(R) Index in the materials and processing sector that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.

MGNR

American Beacon GLG Natural Resources ETF

MGNR Description MGNR offers exposure to companies involved in various aspects of natural resources, including ownership, production, refining, processing, transportation, distribution, mining, exploration, storage, and related activities.

With a concentrated portfolio ranging from 30 to 60 global stocks, the fund primarily targets large and mid-cap stocks.
